More Description

A deep, psychedelic inner exploration incited by the looming threats of mass extinction, climate change, and global totalitarianism. "Extinction X-rated" takes place as author, activist, and spiritual maverick, Alan Clements, weighs up his reasons to live or die on the eve of his ritualized potential suicide. With a lethal syringe of morphine in one hand and a high dose of acid in the other, Clements invites his readers into a darkly satirical, erotic autofiction that blends a plausible yet unauthorized 50-year history of rebel dharma in the West with all the dystopian elements of 1984, A Clockwork Orange, and the Manchurian Candidate. Woven within the arising metaphysical landscapes, and pitched against both horror and hilarity, are the stifling grip of propaganda and ingrained legacies of trauma, the struggles of lockdown and long-term Covid, the spectre of election fraud, and the probing tendrils of corruption, self-deceit, and spiritual narcissism.Populated by a pantheon of disembodied saints and a cabal of the demonized and despised, this work of fiction is a direct, no holds barred assault on the futility of the times, a meditation on good and evil, and a lesson in moral courage that builds from quiet, LSD-inspired reflection to a crescendo of thunderous upheaval and resolution not known until the final page.As the Doomsday Clock ticks ever closer to a fatal midnight, so too do the pages of this book count down to a victory of hope against all odds, or a final goodnight to an inescapable Samsara.
